Thrifty Tuesday


 Wow! What a great week it has been for vintage thrifty finds.
I haven't had much time for thrift shopping the past few weeks (or blogging!) so I was thrilled when I found all these goodies. It was as if they had been hiding somewhere waiting for me to find them.
Check out the huge pile of vintage fabrics I found...yay. All of it is pre 1980's (some 1950's) cottons with interesting prints.
Other great finds- vintage children's books - dinner plates (not all shown) - vintage craft books - groovy tablecloth - 2 cute figurines (not sure if these are vintage but Miranda loves them).
My favourite find would have to be the little book called "Woodland Adventures" It has the sweetest illustrations :)

For more vintage/thrifty finds head over to Her Library Adventures.

Sweet thrifty dreams everyone

floral vintage and thrifty finds

  I must confess, i've been really slack when it comes to thrift shopping lately. It might have something to do with the appalling weather here in Ballarat. Not letting rain get in the way of shopping, i've been doing a bit of browsing online. Here are my latest finds - a super cute floral suitcase (an ebay find) - green retro 60's alarm clock - pretty floral vintage fabric -  a early 70's child's book on gardening...a local op shop find. 
All these pretty floral prints reminds me that Spring is 'only' 37 days away (but who's counting) - a that makes me smile :)
